I think having a whole new space for me, that I can really make my own and decorate in a way that makes me go :D! whenever I step inside - I think that'd be a really good thing.

YES. At least, it's made a huge difference for me. And yeah, I had the War Against White-and-Beige too - and I only went as far as browns and blues and greens, but it feels so much better! More home, less institution. Even though there was nothing really wrong with it before.
